For the fourth consecutive year, Coastal Carolina University has been named one of "America's 100 Best College Buys." More than 1,020 colleges and universities were surveyed for the designation, which is presented annually by Institutional Research & Evaluation Inc.
To be considered for the award, colleges and universities must be accredited, four-year institutions granting bachelor's degrees and meet other criteria.
Recently, CCU also received a favorable ranking in U.S. News and World Report's annual survey. It was also included in the "America's Best Colleges" survey conducted annually by Forbes and the Center for College Affordability and Productivity.
"The consistency with which Coastal Carolina University has been included in this and other national rankings indicates the overall strength of our institution," said university president David A. DeCenzo.
The "America's 100 Best College Buys" survey has been conducted for 20 years.
